Chapter 191 Sanshipo
Xing Dalin wanted to say something after hearing this, but before he opened his mouth, Song Wenhui interrupted him with great dissatisfaction:
"Ye Mingsheng will soon be deployed to Fengzhou to guard against the Khitans. Let him fight with the Khitans. Dalin, you must focus all your energy on the Gongsun family. They are the biggest threat to me, Song Wenhui!"
"Yes!"
Seeing that Song Wenhui's words were so decisive and unquestionable, although Xing Dalin was still unwilling, he was ultimately powerless and nodded and accepted the order.
In the next half hour, Song Wenhui found another trusted leader, Ji Xingquan, and asked him to inform Xing Dalin about the current situation of the Gongsun family and discuss countermeasures.
By the time Xing Dalin walked out of Song Wenhui's study, the sun had already set and it was about to get dark.
After half an hour of understanding, Xing Dalin already knew that the Gongsun family's all-out efforts had made the situation imminent, so he could understand Song Wenhui's anxiety...
But for some reason, Xing Dalin always felt uneasy and even had an indescribable feeling if he let Ye Mingsheng go like this. If he let Ye Mingsheng go now, he would definitely regret it, very much!
Surrounded by such a feeling, Xing Dalin felt more uncomfortable than swallowing a fly alive. He walked out of the Governor's Mansion with a frown and a heavy heart, and was about to hail a carriage to pick him up.
Instead, he discovered an exquisite and luxurious carriage that slowly stopped in front of the Governor's Mansion. Then a seven-foot-tall, handsome young man, dressed in the robes of a sixth-rank civil servant, got off the carriage.
Seeing Xing Dalin, the young man smiled and bowed, saying, "Master Xing!"
"Governor Cui!" Xing Dalin saw the newcomer, even though the other party was one level lower than him, but knowing the other party's family background, he did not dare to neglect him at all and also bowed in return.
The two exchanged a few polite words in front of the Governor's Mansion. Just as this "Governor Cui" was about to say goodbye to Xing Dalin and enter the Governor's Mansion, Xing Dalin seemed to have suddenly thought of something and asked for no reason:
"Governor Cui, may I ask if your father, Lord Cui, has a cousin?"
Although he didn't know, Xing Dalin suddenly asked this, but Governor Cui subconsciously said:
"I do have a third aunt, but I haven't seen her since I was very young..."
After saying this, when Governor Cui was hesitating whether to ask why Xing Dalin brought up this matter, Xing Dalin nodded, got on the carriage, and drove away, leaving Governor Cui alone, confused in the wind.

"Boss, Sanshipo is not far ahead. After passing Sanshipo, it's another fifty miles to Fengshan County!"
A bandit with shifty eyes smiled flatteringly and introduced Hong Min, who was riding on a tall horse:
"Damn it, I've been traveling for such a long time and I'm finally almost at Ye Village!"
"My fellows, let's follow me to Sanshipo to rest for a while. When we reach Fengshan County tomorrow, we will kill and rob the entire damn Ye family, and take all their maids and wives back to the village!"
The sturdy Hong Min waved the ghost-head sword in his hand and said to the hundreds of brothers behind him with a big laugh:
"Listen to the boss!"
"We should do whatever the boss does!"
"Take the wife of General Ye Mingsheng, the powerful general, and make her the wife of the leader!"...
·······
As soon as Hong Min finished speaking, the many bandits behind him echoed in a variety of ways:
Hearing everyone's approval and flattery, Hong Min, who was already full of confidence in this action, became even more complacent. His rough big hands subconsciously reached into his arms, and there were no five silver notes worth two hundred taels.
When Xing Dalin contacted him through his informant in Dongning City seven days ago, Hong Min still didn't believe that such a good thing of picking up money easily could happen to him.
It was not until the silver notes totaling one thousand taels appeared in front of him that Hong Min was convinced that the pie in the sky had really fallen on his head...
In Hong Min's opinion, this trip down the mountain was no different from usual, except that the distance was a little farther. It was even safer. After all, Xing Dalin had promised him that the government troops along the way would not make things difficult for him. An insider was also arranged in Fengshan County to open the city gate for him, waiting for him to break into the Ye Mansion and massacre the Ye family.
It was for this reason that Hong Min believed that by doing this, he would not only be able to kidnap some women and bring them up the mountain to satisfy his sexual desires for a change, but he would also be able to earn an extra 1,200 taels of silver.
He can also establish a relationship with Xing Dalin, a popular figure in front of Liaoyang Governor Song Wenhui!
This vote definitely kills three birds with one stone, and it is a rare and good job!
As soon as Xing Dalin's money arrived, Hong Min made up his mind and without any hesitation, he led his men down the mountain and rushed towards Fengshan County.
As for Ye Mingsheng, the powerful general of the Ye family, Hong Min didn't take him seriously at all.
He had seen many officials like this, all generals and commanders, with impressive titles, but in reality they were all a bunch of fools, with silver spears and candle ends, good-looking but useless.
He, Hong, really wanted to see, when he put this ghost-head sword on the neck of that damn General Huwei, would Ye Mingsheng act like a tiger and show off his power, or would he be so scared that he peed his pants?
Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Hong Min's face, as if he had already seen himself appearing in Ye Mansion, majestic and dominating everything...
After a cup of tea, Hong Min led his men to Sanshipo. Looking around at the dense trees and narrow roads, Hong Min, who had served in the army and read military books for a few days, had a serious look on his rough face.
Although he thought that Ye Mingsheng might still be at home with his beautiful wife and concubines and didn't know anything, Hong Min, who was originally planning to take a break here, hesitated for a moment and ordered loudly:
"Quickly pass the Sanshi Slope and take a rest in front!"
"Boss, aren't we going to rest here?"
Seeing Hong Min changing his orders every day, the exhausted little leader who had traveled dozens of miles subconsciously muttered with some dissatisfaction:
"Snapped!"
In response to his subordinate's grumbling, Hong Min hit him hard on the face with a horsewhip, and then cursed him viciously:
"Am I the boss, or are you the boss? Just do whatever I tell you to do, and stop talking nonsense!"
